Full_Name: Jan Vcelak Version: git master OS: Linux URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/jvcelak-20120606-moznss-read-pin-from-file-infinite-loop.patch Submission from: (NULL) (209.132.186.34) The buffer allocated for reading password (pin) file has to be initialized with zeros, or we need to append zero at the end of the file. Otherwise we might read initialized memory and consider it to be a password. In this situation, all incoming TLS connections can hang. Attached patch fixes this bug. The attached file is derived from OpenLDAP Software. All of the modifications to OpenLDAP Software represented in the following patch(es) were developed by Red Hat. Red Hat has not assigned rights and/or interest in this work to any party. I, Jan Vcelak am authorized by Red Hat, my employer, to release this work under the following terms.
